The value-added tax (VAT) is assessed on the value added to goods and services purchased and sold in the EU. Any activity that consists of the production, distribution, or provision of goods or services falls under this law. In order to participate in European trade, VAT registration is almost always required. Businesses receive a VAT number that allows them to handle VAT duties in that country. Purchasing goods for your business is also eligible for VAT reimbursement. Moreover, if you plan on submitting your VAT returns, paying your VAT duties, and doing business with other tax-registered companies, you will need to register for VAT.
Who should register with the VAT?
Do all businesses have to register for VAT? Businesses must register for VAT only if their annual aggregate turnover exceeds a defined threshold. The registration threshold determines whether an enterprise must register or, alternatively, can apply for registration or can seek exemption from VAT registration
In UAE, VAT registration is categorized as follows:
- Mandatory VAT Registration
- Voluntary VAT Registration
- Exemption from VAT Registration

To determine whether annual supplies will exceed the threshold, we will also consider the supply value of the next 30 days.
A non-resident taxable person (a taxable person without a fixed establishment) will not be subject to any threshold for determining his VAT registration. Non-resident taxable persons must register for VAT.
